Crime & Women's Safety in Birmingham

A really busy city. Lots of homeless people, some anti social behaviour. But generally fine, just exercise self awareness and common sense. Women generally respected and treated with dignity and courtesy.

There is a lot of crime but mainly seems to be from contained within that type of lifestyle. There have been peoples houses broken into when I live here and cars broken into and stolen unfortunately, at the moment it seems to have lessened

Birmingham is an overall safe city however like every other city you always need to be aware and wary of your safety. So at night try to walk in well lit roads and busy areas such as along shops and other buildings with lights. Tell friends or other people you know where you are and share your locations etc just as a precautionary.

Solo travel experience

I studied in birmingham. School activities are quite nice as in sports and so on. I lived in a student area which mostly felt safe. Weather is always grey so far but hoping for better. Everything is fairly expensive

Solo travel experience

- stayed in Selina during my stay in Birmingham which was quiet but pretty nice hostel so that was sweet, didn’t really like the area though (walking around in early evening felt pretty unsafe) - had a yummy brunch and dinner and there was a realm of different types of food to eat - very walkable place and I’m sure there would be more to do in the summer but loved the vibes and the people so overall good experience !!

Solo travel experience

Go to the top floor of the library to see the view of the city, stroll around the Jewellery Quarter and perhaps visit the local goldsmith museum. In the centre of Birmingham, there is a charming shopping gallery. In this gallery, there is a cosy place called Morridge, which is great for a moment of relaxation during a day of walking around the city.
